Reds ready to launch for the top–Not!

After an exhibition tour to the Far East and a disappointing result at the Ajax tournament, Liverpool FC face a Champions League home and away against Finnish side FC Haka before launching the new Premiership season. In prep, the club signed three key deals with young stars, while manager Houllier conceded the league title to Man U. After last year’s three titles and Champions League berth, fans have to be disappointed that the club isn’t aiming higher.
